Raising Ms. President Screening

Want to see a documentary aimed at inspiring young women to participate in politics - and then hear from young women who have done it? Come watch Raising Ms. President on Wednesday, November 13 at the Institute for Women's Leadership (IWL), 162 Ryders Lane, New Brunswick.

The evening will begin with a reception at 5:30 pm, followed by the film screening at 6:00. Afterwards, a panel of young women political leaders will include:

Christine Buteas, a former councilwoman in South Plainfield and current Vice President of the Women's Political Caucus of New Jersey;

Erica Klemens, a Rutgers alumna and director of constituent and legislative services for Assemblywoman Betty DeCroce; and

Lynda Lloyd, one the youngest South Ward District Leaders in the City of Newark, a candidate for Newark City Council.

The entire program is the social action project of IWL scholars (and NEW Leadership graduates and former CAWP interns!) Felise Ortiz and Jennifer Osolinski.
